Earl Russell
asked Her Majesty's Government:When the allowances paid to ex-offenders on the Training for Work Programme were last uprated for inflation.
The Minister of State, Department for Education and Employment
(Lord Henley)
All participants on Training for Work, including ex-offenders, receive an allowance based on the benefit they were receiving immediately before they joined the programme plus a training premium of £10 a week. Allowance payments were increased in line with the increase in underlying benefits in April 1995.
